Hey guys! Happy to say that Barbados was spared from any damage or injuries from Tropical Storm Chantal. Unfortunately there were reports of some damage in Dominica and St. Lucia but thankfully no one was hurt. Will pray that the remaining countries in the path of this strengthening storm will be fine.
Now, on to today’s DIY Wednesday- we have a great roundup of projects you can use to create lovely backdrops for your head tables, cake tables, photo booths etc.
